In addition, a photography display is being staged by WASSUP, a youth social action group supported by Volunteering Matters, involving 30 young women campaigning and lobbying for change. The artwork on display has been put together and narrated by young women aged 17 – 25 to showcase the challenges and barriers women still face within today’s society.

The Women 100 project was in partnership with the Friends of Ipswich Museums and generously funded by the Government Equalities Office.

To celebrate International Women’s Day, the Museum is holding a special event at Ipswich Art Gallery on Saturday 9th March. Join artists Claudia Boese, Hayley Field, Jacqueline Utley and curator Emma Roodhouse on a free tour of the Women 100 exhibition between 2-4pm. Full details can be found on the Ipswich Museums Facebook page.
